-
- Why do you think that you need to speak for Mr. Kendig, Reverend?
- Do you not think that he's capable of speaking for himself?
-
- He seemd to be asking when and where blockades occurred so that
- he could see one for himself. I'll let him clarify.

- #When a reporter writes a book, they are under no professional
- #obligation to give an unbiased account. Even when they do
- #write for a paper, there's no guarantee that the story won't
- #be biased, especially on such a emotionally-charged issue.
-
- No shit, DODie.
-
- I didn't say that reporters were always unbiased. This is another
- one of your strawmen.
-
- It is up to you to prove that Hertz's book is "radical pro-abortion
- propaganda," though, or to accept the fact that you've given
- no evidence. Be aware that I will point it out if you forge
- any quotes, though.
-
- #Can you name one single act of 'terrorism' which the
- #group has condoned or endorsed (with references)?
-
- Sure. I'll get the page number for you, but there is a report
- in Faludi's _Backlash_ on the miscarriage that resulted from
- O.R.'s physical assault on a clinic worker. I'd say that
- organized attacks on persons qualifies as terrorism.
-
- I wonder if you think that groups are not responsible for their
- acts if they don't publicly acknowledge that they committed them.
- Strange rationalization, but it fits with the psychosis that
- you've evidenced here.
-
- #As far as being an 'apologist', I am neither a supporter
- #nor an opponent of the group. I just want people to
- #receive unbiased information about the group.
-
- We know, DODie, you don't support or oppose anything. Right.
-
- You've yet to provide any unbiased information on any subject,
- much less O.R. If you really want people to receive such information,
- you might try providing some.
-
- I suggested that Mr. Kendig witness a blockade for himself. Do
- you think that he'll get a biased view of the group from watching
- them in action? Are you afraid that he'll recognize you?
